    Thought there would be a post started? 

    Was planning on going Saturday but see it's Sold Out online. Not sure I've ever seen that or if they keep Day Of Show tickets available? May try and drive early on Friday now. 

    Anyone else going? 

    Some comic shops in Chicago have passes for sale and might not be sold out. You can find them here -

    I don't know if it's logistically possible for you guys to get them that way but I figured it might be worth a shot. Graham Crackers will be at the con. Maybe if you're there on Friday you could get a Saturday pass from them and pick it up at their booth. I can't say that they will do that for sure

    ASM 300 Spain Production Error discovered

    in Comics General

    Posted

    I might guess that the black plate was made without the knockouts for the white text areas and webbing at the top so instead of the white paper showing, it's printed black in those areas. Why only there and not other areas? Who knows but a mistake like that can happen. I would think that would have been noticed pretty early and a new black plate would have been made. So if true, I would say a production error. 

    The tiny Os could be what some call a hickey. It's when a small hardened bit of ink gets on the plate or blanket and prevents the ink from fully covering that spot. So it creates a ring around it.

    As far as the suggested marker used to fill in spots, I would think that would be easy to see from the inside of the cover. Obviously it would have to be cracked out to check.

    Frank Miller is doing some CGC Remaques ($320), Head Sketch ($1085) and Full Figure Sketch ($2085) - these seem quite high prices.  

    1.  What do people think?  Is it worth it generally?  I hear it is really a hit and miss situation

    2.  Whilst the price difference between Remaque and Head Sketch (cost three times) is quite large - is it worth three times?  

    Interested to hear people's views before I plonk a few thousand for this as I am a newbie when it comes to CGC sketch slabs.

    My suggestion would be to do a search for some of his sketches (there's a few on ebay currently) and see if you like them. Then decide if it's worth the money and the chance of a miss to you.
